[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_column_text]
At the 2019 ASOR Annual Meeting in San Diego, Gary Arbino was awarded the ASOR Membership Service Award. This award recognizes individuals who have made special contributions on behalf of the ASOR membership, through committee, editorial, or office services.
“Gary Arbino, Professor of Archaeology and Old Testament Interpretation, Gateway Seminary, has been a long-time member of ASOR, and has served in several significant roles that have benefited ASOR and its membership. In addition to his work on the membership committee (2003-2017), as an ASOR Trustee (2005-2014), and as Chair of the Officers Nominations Committee (2009-2014), Gary served on the Strategic Planning and Rebranding Task Force that brought about ASOR’s most recent strategic plan. Notably, Gary most recently undertook the herculean task of chairing the Ad Hoc Committee on the Future of the Annual Meeting from 2016-2019. The question this committee was asked to address—the date and place of the ASOR Annual Meeting, and the continued viability of meeting at roughly the same time and place as SBL—is one of the most challenging that has faced ASOR in the past several years. Gary’s leadership in executing this task was exceptional! His detailed report with recommendations about the best way forward enabled the Board to come easily and relatively quickly to a decision, magically transforming contentiousness into consensus. In recognition of Gary’s hard work, he is awarded the ASOR Membership Service Award.”
Upon receipt of this honor at the 2019 Members Meeting, Arbino did not speak, but had he taken the opportunity he would have extended the accolade to those long-suffering members of the Committee, who put in countless hours of insightful, creative, analytic, detailed, and competent work on the two-plus-year project. Kent Bramlett, Bill Caraher, Sidnie Crawford, Erin Darby, Karen Rubinson, Eric Welch, and Lawson Younger all merit a share in the praise, since they so graciously participated in the struggle. He also would have noted the indispensable and ever-quality assistance of the ASOR Staff and Officers. Arbino’s omission in no way should diminish the contributions of each and all of them; this Service Award is truly theirs as well.
